For us to get the most out of it - we need to get to know each other a little better so I thought it'd be a good idea to do some introductions.
Tell us a little about yourself, about your interest in and experience with digital photography and what you'd like to get out of and contribute to these forums.

Sure -
I work as a S&M professional with a 5 star hotel chain which is Asia's finest and India;s biggest, Had developed love for taking pictures. My first camera which I handled was an Agfa Click -IV way back when I was in school ( may be when I was 10 yrs) and it was B&W then. Oh no, before that I clicked some pics with my Dad's Brownie. A Box camera with a 130 or 120 film format. It clicked some good pics though B&W. After that in 1985 I bought myself an SLR - Minolta X-700, but disappointed as however much I tried 50% of the pictures came out lousy. It came with a primary lens of 50 mm and then I added a Vivitar 50 - 120 Zoom. This lens I couldnt handle - maybe I was not too familiar with how to get the best out of it. Sold that off and then first digital experience was with a Kodak V-5. ( disappointed as the batt would die off in 15 shots and the flash was weak) got it ex-changed for a Fuji F-20. And Wow that was a turning point. I still have it and boy it sure is a good piece of equipment. Then I bought a Olympus C-770 uz as I wanted some more optical zoom and a hotshoe. I bought that second hand and had it with me for two years, untill just last week traded it for a Kodak Z-980 as Olympus didnt have an IS and was craving for a little extra zoom with latest features. I love to click and click, experiment with my pictures and learn to improve. (specially in the manual mode ) So thats me. :
